Macmillan Information and Support Centre
Free cancer information, support and complementary therapies for anyone affected by cancer.
Welcome
We are based in the Lower Ground Floor Outpatients Atrium (between Lift Bank C and D)—follow the signage to the Lower Ground Floor Outpatients Department to find us. We encourage people to contact us by phone rather than visit but, if you are coming in for an appointment, we can see you with social distancing measures in place. Only one person may visit at a time—this is for your protection and ours, and you must wear a face covering.
We usually offer complementary therapies, reflexology and massage, but our complementary therapy services have temporarily stopped until it is safe for us to resume. Our volunteer counselling team are now back in the building and are offering face-to-face appointments (for non-shielding clients) and telephone appointments. Because of the different ways we are now working, as well as contacting us by phone for support (9am–5pm weekdays) or visiting us if you are in the hospital for an appointment, we are using a YouTube channel to promote your wellbeing at home. Our new YouTube channel is designed with you in mind. We have collaborated with cancer specialists, our complementary therapists, and our hospital charity CW+ to bring you a variety of wellbeing topics. We are also offering chair-based exercises to help keep you active if you are at home and shielding.
